CHESTER BACH SINGERS

Chester Bach Singers performs a series of concerts annually and hosts Choral Workshops and Come & Sing events. Through these activities we educate and inform the public. We also work with schools and colleges, offering a Young Singers Scheme.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
